Industrial Lighting
Industrial activity is one of the major contributions for national economy. Every business improvement – whether by a human, social, or equipment factor – results either directly or indirectly from an increase in productivity.
Lighting industry Lightenjin focuses on studying natural and artificial lighting systems working towards the continuous achievement of dynamic and technologically advanced solutions that become direct added values for users and managers.

Gyrus
Industrial Lighting of Excellence
With a compact and robust geometric shape and available in two sizes, Gyrus fits easily into any industrial or sports pavilions. This product is equipped with high efficiency LEDs, which allows for low operating costs without compromising the lighting quality.
Different Industries. Different Requirements.
Food industry
Food industry Lighting is subjected to strict guidelines regarding the product’s design and quality:
– The product’s design should prevent some parts from eventually falling off or detaching themselves from the light fixtures (high IK);
– The hygiene guidelines stipulate that accumulated dust should be easily removed;
– The light fixtures should have a high IP as to be apt for humid, hot, and cold areas; – Materials used should be resistant to chemical agents used in cleaning;
– Lighting levels should be suitable for inspection on each manufacturing stage.
Auto Industry
Lighting conditions are pretty specific in the auto industry. The following should be ensured among many others:
– Additional lighting directed to the work station as well as general lighting;
– Light fixtures should be lateral to the assembly line;
– Glare control;
– Dark and light reflection areas should be eliminated as to prevent mistakes from taking place at work as well as employee fatigue;
– Minimise light reflections;
– Specific lights for quality control with either a high amount of light (≥ 1000 lux) or separated by colour.
Chemical industry/Pharmaceutical industry
A laboratory is a delimited and isolated geographical area where the number of particles or germs in the air is as low as possible. The aim is to keep unwanted influences away from people and production.
As well as being very important to ensure an excellent lighting level in order to achieve a correct visual analysis, light fixtures should also comply with the following requirements:
– High chemical resistance, particularly against cleaning and disinfectants;
– Water resistant and dust proof (≥IP65);
– Very low or null particle emissions;
– Flat surface preventing the accumulation of particles and germs;
– Biologically resistant materials.
Explosion hazard area
There are potentially explosive areas in the industry. The ATEX directive classifies the risk of an explosion in certain spaces as well as electrical equipment to be used according to the risk of an explosion in that area.
Flammable gas and vapour areas have been divided into three: ZONE 0 (> hazardous); ZONE 1; ZONE 2 (< hazardous);
Combustible dust and fibre areas have also been divided into three: ZONE 20 (< hazardous); ZONE 21; ZONE 22 (> hazardous). This classification results from a crossed combination of both classifications.
Industries such as petrochemical, food, sugar refinery, milling, pharmaceutical, fertiliser, textile, wood processing, paper and cellulose, among others, are likely to generate gas, vapour, combustible dust and fibre areas.
There are many risks of explosions and lighting equipment must be classified as to suit each hazardous area.
